Remove DECnet support from kernel

2023-06-21T13:45:38+00:00

commit 1202cdd665315c525b5237e96e0bedc76d7e754f upstream. DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol history museum not in Linux kernel. It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well. Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling. This means that there is still an empty neighbour table for AF_DECNET. The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

net: Fix data-races around netdev_max_backlog.

2022-08-31T15:15:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5dcd08cd19912892586c6082d56718333e2d19db ] While reading netdev_max_backlog, it can be changed concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its readers. While at it, we remove the unnecessary spaces in the doc. Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

net: add option to not create fall-back tunnels in root-ns as well

2020-08-28T13:52:44+00:00

The sysctl that was added earlier by commit 79134e6ce2c ("net: do not create fallback tunnels for non-default namespaces") to create fall-back only in root-ns. This patch enhances that behavior to provide option not to create fallback tunnels in root-ns as well. Since modules that create fallback tunnels could be built-in and setting the sysctl value after booting is pointless, so added a kernel cmdline options to change this default. The default setting is preseved for backward compatibility. The kernel command line option of fb_tunnels=initns will set the sysctl value to 1 and will create fallback tunnels only in initns while kernel cmdline fb_tunnels=none will set the sysctl value to 2 and fallback tunnels are skipped in every netns.

netns: enable to inherit devconf from current netns

2020-05-16T20:46:37+00:00

The goal is to be able to inherit the initial devconf parameters from the current netns, ie the netns where this new netns has been created. This is useful in a containers environment where /proc/sys is read only. For example, if a pod is created with specifics devconf parameters and has the capability to create netns, the user expects to get the same parameters than his 'init_net', which is not the real init_net in this case.
